Grand Place Giggles:
Grand Place in Brussels, lights so bright,
I wandered through, what a sight.

From guildhalls grand to city's cheer,
Brussels' laughter's always near.

Manneken Pis, statue small,
I took a photo, caught it all.
But then a bird swooped down from high,
And stole my hat, oh my oh my!

In Brussels, joy is found within.
From fountains bright to statues bold,
Brussels' charm is pure gold.

Chocolate Chuckles:
Brussels' chocolate, rich and sweet,
I tried to taste, what a treat.
But then I spilled it on my shirt,
And laughed so hard, it didn't hurt.
The vendors smiled and gave me more,
In Brussels, fun's at the core.
From pralines bright to truffles grand,
Brussels' joy will fill your hand.
